Answer:

74.86% probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 14

Variance is 9.

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

So

\sigma = \sqrt{9} = 3

Calculate the probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 12. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{12 - 14}{3}

Z = -0.67

Z = -0.67 has a pvalue of 0.2514.

1-0.2514 = 0.7486

74.86% probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

Triangle GHI is rotated 90Degrees clockwise and then reflected over the y-axis. Which congruency statement is true?
lesya [120]

The congruency statement which is true among the answer choices is;

  • On a coordinate plane, triangle G H I is rotated 90 degrees clockwise and then is reflected over the y-axis.
  • Triangle G H I is congruent to triangle G double-prime H double-prime I double-prime.

<h3>Which congruency statement is true?</h3>

According to the task content, the initial transformation is; Triangle GHI is rotated 90Degrees clockwise and then reflected over the y-axis.

On this note, the congruency which are true regarding the transformation are;

  • On a coordinate plane, triangle G H I is rotated 90 degrees clockwise and then is reflected over the y-axis.
  • Triangle G H I is congruent to triangle G double-prime H double-prime I double-prime.

This follows from the fact that the transformation.does not involved dilation by means of a scale factor and hence, size remains equal and all angle measures remain the same.

Brahmagupta's book is the oldest text representing zero
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Understanding zero as a number represented by the symbol 0 enabled mathematicians to have a representation of nothing. Having a digit to represent zero enables mathematics to be more abstract, and allows more complex problems to be solved.
